Use the folling command to md5sum a file:

$ java -Xmx256m -cp <path to jython>/jython.jar org.python.util.jython
-c "import md5;import sys;print md5.new( open( sys.argv[1] ).read()
).hexdigest()" <file to hash>

Then, try the same thing with python:
$ python -c "import md5;import sys;print md5.new( open( sys.argv[1]
).read() ).hexdigest()" <file to hash>
 
or with md5sum:
$ md5sum <file to hash>

The python and md5sum output match, while the jython does not.  I see
this behavior on 2.2.1, and 2.1.

Haven't had a chance to look at this yet, but it's working on trunk and
broken on the Release_2_2maint branch.

btw, the commands I pasted seem to work ok for small/text files and the
failure is with large/binary files.  Not sure if it's a size thing, or a
text vs binary thing.

Crap, that's what it was.  Changing the pasted command to use open()
with 'b' it starts working.

You should close this bug.
